Studying this morning's four readings from the St. James Daily Devotional Guide (click to subscribe), I examined myself with these questions. Where is your self-examination leading today?
Psalms 119:97-120. Verse 109 KJV, what does it mean that I have my soul in my hand today? What help is God at such a time?
II Chronicles 20:1-37. Verses 17 and 18, threatened by invaders, the king and all the people go face down before the Lord. Shall I take this posture of prayer literally? Why or why not?
Revelation 1:1-8. Verse 5, with what person or aspect of my life is there a love deficit right now? How does the blood of Jesus more than make up for that, how can I experience it today?
Luke 17:5-10. Verse 10, vernacular, stop thinking God is pretty lucky to have me and realize I’m pretty lucky to have God? Does this shoe fit? How will it make my day better?
